Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to communication systems using wireless communication networks, and more particularly to methods and systems for supporting wireless communication on local area networks (LANs).
  • LANs local area networks
  • Wireless communication devices supported by these networks include cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless computers.
  • a base station is located within each cell of a cellular network for transmitting and receiving information to and from the wireless communication devices.
  • Base station controllers are utilized to control clusters of base stations by providing the base stations with the information to transmit to mobile communication devices within the range of the base stations.
  • Mobile switching centers route calls between base stations, other mobile switching centers, and the public switched telephone network.
  • Each mobile switching center is associated with a home location register and a visitor location register.
  • the home location register stores the management data relating to all of the wireless communication devices in the network.
  • the management data for any particular wireless communication device includes an international mobile station identity (IMSI), a profile of capacities and services of the wireless communication device, and the location of the wireless communication device within the cellular network.
  • IMSI international mobile station identity
  • Each wireless communication device is assigned to a particular home location register, and a subset of the IMSI assigned to the wireless communication device identifies the particular home location register to which the wireless communication device is assigned. If the wireless communication device visits a network other than its home network, it registers with the visitor location register of the visited network. When the wireless communication device is turned on in the visited network, the device's IMSI is requested and passed onto the visitor location register. Using the IMSI, the visitor location register obtains the information required for registration of the device from the home location register assigned to the wireless communication device. Once the device has registered with the visitor location register, the device can place and receive calls in the same manner as if the device were located in its home network. However, each time the wireless communication device enters a visited network, the registration process must be repeated.
  • the profile is transmitted from the home location register to the visitor location register associated with the mobile switching center of the cell in which the wireless communication device is located.
  • the messaging traffic between the home location register and the visitor location register can limit the call traffic handling capacity of the wireless communication network, because several messages must be exchanged between the home location register and the visitor location register before a call can be completed.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,590,175 to Gallant et al. proposes a solution to the reduced call traffic capacity of prior art cellular network systems.
  • the solution includes selectively eliminating the need to access the home location register for those calls made to a wireless communication device having a home location at the same base station that is receiving the calls from the public switch telephone network.
  • the visitor location register includes the profile of each local wireless communication device that has registered with the visitor location register.
  • the profile includes a home location register query flag which determines whether access to the home location register is required for a particular call. If the query flag indicates that no access to the home location register is required, then the profile contains sufficient routing information to complete the call. If, on the other hand, the flag indicates that call forwarding or roaming information is required, the home location register must be contacted to obtain this information.
  • Gallant et al. patent provides a partial solution to the call traffic capacity diminishment of a cellular telephone network, the substantial volume of messaging traffic resulting from the visitor location register accessing roaming information or call forwarding information from the home location register leaves room for improvement over the current system.
  • a system and method for supporting wireless communications within an internetwork enable decentralization of the support of individual wireless communication devices by utilizing dynamic internetwork protocol telephony addresses and by selectively using single-cast, multicast and broadcast techniques.
  • the telephony addresses are fixed within a particular network of the internetwork, but are “dynamic” with respect to the networks, since each network may assign a different telephony address to a particular wireless communication device.
  • the internetwork is formed of a number of networks that are linked to exchange messages, requests and other signals.
  • the internetwork may be formed of interlinked networks of a single business entity.
  • Each network includes a base station having a generally fixed transmission region with respect to supporting communications with wireless communication devices, such as cellular phones, pagers and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
  • Each network further includes a call control unit, such as a router-server, for establishing communication links and for assigning a dynamic telephony address in response to a registration request from a particular wireless communication device.
  • the registration request is received via the base station of the network and includes a device identifier which is specific to the wireless communication device.
  • the device identifier is universally applied within the internetwork, but the dynamic telephony address is assigned independently of assignments within other networks of the internetwork.
  • the dynamic telephony addresses are internet protocol (IP) telephony addresses. If the particular wireless communication device enters the transmission regions of each of the base stations within the internetwork and transmits registration requests via each of the base stations, the wireless communication device may be assigned a number of dynamic telephony addresses equal to the number of networks. The registration request may be automatically triggered by the wireless communication device merely by activating the device within a transmission range, but other triggering techniques may be utilized.
  • IP internet protocol
  • Each network includes memory having stored data that is representative of associations between each device identifier and the dynamic telephony addresses assigned by networks to the wireless communication device to which the device identifier is specific.
  • the memory is accessed to determine which remotely assigned dynamic telephony addresses are available. If the network in which the device resides is known and the dynamic telephony address assigned by that network is also known, a single-cast call-setup message can be transmitted to the remote network. The message includes the dynamic telephony addresses assigned by that network, facilitating the process of establishing the communication link for the incoming call.
  • call-setup messages may be multicast to each remote network for which a dynamic telephony address is accessible within the local memory.
  • Locate-wireless-communication-device messages may be multicast or broadcast to remote networks if none or only a portion of the remotely assigned dynamic addresses are accessible within the local memory.
  • Such messages include the device identifier that is specific to the wireless communication device and a request for the dynamic telephony address associated with the device identifier.
  • the assignment of a dynamic telephony address to a wireless communication device is not followed by a broadcast of the assigned address to the remaining networks in the internetwork. Resources of the internetwork and the individual networks are conserved by communicating the different dynamic telephony addresses on an as-needed basis. However, with each communication of dynamic telephony addresses, the addresses are stored in local memory.

  • FIG. 5 is a process flow of an alternative embodiment of the method illustrated in FIG. 4 .
  • a system for supporting wireless communication among multiple interconnected networks includes a home network 10 such as a 10 Base-T local area network (LAN) connected to a second LAN 12 , a third LAN 13 , and a fourth LAN 14 .
  • Each LAN includes its own router-server and wireless base station.
  • Each router-server is equipped with the same capabilities for establishing wireless communication links.
  • the home LAN 10 includes a home local memory 20 , a home router-server 22 , a home IP telephone 18 , a home gateway 21 , and a home wireless base station 24 .
  • the second LAN 12 includes a second local memory 28 , a second router-server 30 , a second IP telephone 26 , a second gateway 27 , and a second wireless base station 32 .
  • the third LAN 13 includes a third local memory 38 , a third router-server 36 , a third IP telephone 40 , a third gateway 41 , and a third wireless base station 42 .
  • the fourth LAN 14 includes a fourth local memory 46 , a fourth router-server 44 , a fourth IP telephone 48 , a fourth gateway 49 , and a fourth wireless base station 50 .
  • Each router-server 22 , 30 , 36 and 44 is capable of uniquely assigning a dynamic IP-telephony address to a particular wireless communication device 34 , such as a cellular phone.
  • a particular wireless communication device 34 such as a cellular phone.
  • the cellular phone 34 when the cellular phone 34 is within a generally defined transmission range of the second wireless base station 32 , as illustrated in FIG. 1, and the cellular phone 34 performs a specified function, for instance powering up, the cellular phone 34 automatically transmits a registration signal including a registration request to the second router-server 30 .
  • the registration signal also includes a cellular phone identifier associated with the cellular phone 34 .
  • the phone identifier is universally applied to the cellular phone by the LANs 10 , 12 , 13 and 14 .
  • a method for registering the cellular phone includes the step 51 of receiving a registration signal at a router-server, such as the second router-server 30 .
  • the second router-server 30 Upon receiving the registration signal having the universally applied phone identifier, the second router-server 30 assigns a second dynamic IP-telephony address to the cellular phone 34 .
  • This second dynamic IP-telephony address is different from the first dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone at the home LAN 10 .
  • the second router-server 30 enters the identifier and the address into the second local memory 28 in step 52 and transmits the second dynamic IP-telephony address to the cellular phone 34 in step 53 .
  • the cellular phone 34 enters the address into a cellular phone local memory (not shown). Thus, the cellular phone may store a number of different addresses that are assigned to it.
  • the second router server 30 is able to independently establish a connection between the cellular phone 34 and other communication devices, such as the second IP telephone 26 or the remotely located telephone 19 . That is, the second LAN 12 is able to function as a “temporary home” LAN for calls that are intended for the cellular telephone 34 and that are linked directly through the second router-server 30 .
  • the second router-server 30 is capable of establishing the wireless communication link between the cellular telephone 34 and the second IP telephone 26 without accessing registration data from a source outside of the second LAN 12 , such as the home LAN 10 .
  • the second router-server 30 locally accesses the second dynamic IP-telephony address from the second local memory 28 in response to the incoming call and transmits a call-setup signal with the second dynamic IP-telephony address to the second wireless base station 32 .
  • the second wireless base station 32 wirelessly transmits a call-setup message to the cellular telephone 34 to establish the wireless connection.
  • the second router-server 30 is able to establish a wireless communication link between the cellular telephone 34 and the remotely located telephone 19 in the same manner, provided that the call from the remotely located telephone 19 is directed to the cellular phone 34 via the second gateway 27 and the second router-server 30 .
  • Every router-server 22 , 30 , 36 and 44 of the internetwork of LANs 10 , 12 , 13 and 14 is capable of uniquely assigning a dynamic IP-telephony address to the cellular phone 34 . Furthermore, after the cellular phone 34 has registered with every router-server, each router-server is capable of establishing a wireless communication link to the cellular phone 34 via its associated wireless base station for calls that originate from within the router-server's LAN. The link is formed without accessing registration data from outside the LAN of the router-server.
  • the dynamic IP-telephony addresses enable the LANs 10 , 12 , 13 and 14 to use single-cast, multicast and broadcast approaches to efficiently locate the cellular phone 34 when the cellular phone 34 is within a transmission range of a wireless base station located on a remote LAN.
  • the user of the cellular phone is also the user of the third IP telephone 40 and that the remotely located telephone 19 has placed a call to the third IP telephone 40 on the third LAN 13 via the third gateway 41 .
  • the cellular phone 34 was previously registered with the third router-server 36 , which stored a third registration data set, that included a third dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone 34 and included the universally applied cellular phone identifier.
  • the third IP telephone 40 is programmed to time-out transfer the call to the third router-server 36 after a predetermined interval and to transmit instructions directing the third router-server 36 to relay the call to the cellular phone 34 .
  • the third router-server 36 will transmit a call-setup signal that includes the third dynamic IP-telephony address to the third wireless base station 42 in an attempt to establish the wireless connection between the remotely located telephone 19 and the cellular phone 34 .
  • the attempt to establish the connection will not succeed, since the cellular phone 34 is not located in the transmission range of the third wireless base station 42 .
  • the third router-server 36 must obtain the second dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone 34 by the second router-server 30 , because the cellular telephone 34 is within the transmission range of the second wireless base station 32 .
  • the third router-server 36 determines whether it has locally stored any dynamic IP-telephony addresses assigned to the cellular telephone by one of the remote router-servers 22 , 30 and 44 located on one of the other LANs 10 , 12 and 14 of the internetwork. If the third router-server 36 determines that it has not stored any dynamic IP-telephony addresses received from one of the remote router-servers, the third router-server 36 broadcasts a locate-wireless-communication-device message which includes instructions to return a dynamic IP-telephony address. For purposes of discussion, assume that the third router-server 36 determines that it has received no cellular phone dynamic IP-telephony addresses from any of the router-servers on the internetwork and that the wireless telephone 34 has registered with the second router-server 30 only.
  • the third router-server 36 broadcasts the locate-wireless-communication-device message to the home, second, and fourth router-servers 22 , 30 , and 44 . Only the second router-server 30 responds, because the cellular phone 34 has not registered with any other router-server.
  • the second router-server 30 transmits the second dynamic IP-telephony address to the third router-server 36 .
  • the third router-server 36 responds by locally storing the second dynamic IP-telephony address and transmitting a call-setup request to the second router-server 30 , including the second dynamic IP-telephony address.
  • the second router-server 30 responds to the call-setup request by transmitting a call-setup signal to the second wireless base station 32 , which completes the wireless link between the cellular phone 34 and the remotely located telephone 19 .
  • the cellular phone 34 has now registered with the home, third, and fourth router-servers 22 , 36 , and 44 in addition to the second router-server 30 , but that only the second router-server 30 has transmitted a dynamic IP-telephony address to the third router server 36 .
  • the third IP telephone 40 may receive a second call from the remotely located telephone 19 .
  • the time-out interval expires, the second call will be transferred to the third router-server 36 to be relayed to the cellular phone 34 .
  • the third router-server 36 locally accesses the second dynamic IP-telephony address and transmits a call-setup message to the second router-server 30 .
  • the call-setup message includes the second dynamic IP-telephony address.
  • the third router-server 36 may multicast the locate-wireless-communication-device message to the home and fourth router-servers 22 and 44 , if the third router-server has not been programmed to automatically forward the incoming call to the second network 12 .
  • This message includes the universally applied cellular phone identifier, but cannot include the dynamic IP-telephony addresses assigned to the cellular phone by the home and fourth LANs.
  • the home router-server 22 responds to the locate-wireless-communication-device message by transmitting a first dynamic IP-telephony address and the fourth router-server 44 responds by transmitting a fourth dynamic IP-telephony address to the third router-server 36 .
  • the third router-server 36 Upon receiving the first and fourth dynamic IP telephony addresses, the third router-server 36 locally stores the first and fourth dynamic IP-telephony addresses in the third local memory 38 and transmits a call-setup request with the first and fourth dynamic IP-telephony addresses to the home router-server 22 and the fourth router-server 44 .
  • the home and fourth router-servers 22 and 44 respond to the call-setup request by transmitting call-setup signals to their associated wireless base stations.
  • Each router-server of the network has equal call-setup capabilities.
  • the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 provides a home router-server 22 which is dedicated to establishing wireless connections to wireless communication devices for calls received from outside of the internetwork, for example from the remotely located telephone 19 via the central office 16 .
  • the second 30 , third 36 , and fourth 44 router-servers are capable of establishing calls internal to the network.
  • the home router-server 22 stores the identifier of all wireless communication devices located on the internetwork.
  • the home network router-server 22 is configured to broadcast a locate-wireless-communication-device message in response to an incoming call directed to the cellular phone 34 .
  • This message includes the identifier of the cellular phone 34 .
  • all router-servers with which the cellular phone 34 has registered are configured to transmit a unique dynamic IP address to the home router-server 22 in response to the locate-wireless-communication-device message.
  • the advantage provided by employing the home router-server 22 as a dedicated external telephone network router-server is that the other router-servers 30 , 36 and 44 of the internetwork are relieved of the burden of routing incoming calls from the external telephone network.
  • the call-forwarding feature of the first embodiment in FIG. 1 can still be employed in the second embodiment. For instance, a call received from the remotely located telephone 19 is directed to the fourth remote telephone 48 via the central office 16 and the home router-server 22 .
  • the fourth remote telephone 48 has a ringer time-out feature whereby the fourth remote telephone 48 transmits a call relay setup request to the fourth router-server 44 after a predetermined number of rings.
  • the fourth router-server 44 is configured to locally access the fourth dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone 34 by the fourth router-server 44 , and to determine whether any dynamic IP-telephony addresses assigned to the cellular phone 34 by remote router-servers 22 , 30 and 36 are locally stored on the fourth network 14 .
  • the fourth router-server 44 will broadcast a locate-wireless-communication-device message if no such address is found.
  • the fourth router-server 44 transmits a call-setup message, including the dynamic IP-telephony address, to the router-server which assigned the cellular phone that address. If any router-servers have not assigned the cellular phone 34 a dynamic IP-telephony address stored locally in the fourth local memory 46 , the fourth router-server 44 multicasts the locate-wireless-communication-device message to those router-servers. In this manner, the fourth router-server is able to access dynamic IP-addresses in order to forward a call to the cellular phone 34 .
  • a method for establishing a wireless communications link to the cellular phone 34 from a router-server, such as the third router-server 36 , which has no local access to a dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone 34 includes the step 55 of entering a cellular phone identifier into the third local memory 38 .
  • the cellular phone identifier is utilized by the third router-server 36 to process a dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone 34 .
  • an incoming call which is directed to the cellular phone 34 is received at the third LAN 13 .
  • the call can be either a direct call to the cellular phone 34 via the third router-server 36 , or the call might be forwarded from the third IP telephone 40 .
  • the third router-server 36 accesses the cellular phone identifier from the third local memory 38 .
  • the identifier is incorporated into a locate-wireless-communication-device message broadcasted by the third router-server 36 in step 57 .
  • the router-servers which have assigned a dynamic IP-telephony address to the cellular phone 34 utilize the cellular phone identifier in the locate-wireless-communication-device message to access the dynamic IP-telephony address stored in local memory. Assuming each router-server in FIG. 1 has assigned a dynamic IP-telephony address to the cellular phone 34 , the third router-server 36 receives a home, second and fourth dynamic IP_telephony address in step 58 .
  • the third router-server 36 enters the home, second and fourth dynamic IP-telephony addresses into the third local memory 38 for a more efficient call-setup process for future calls directed to the cellular phone 34 .
  • the third router-server 36 has locally stored all of the IP-telephony addresses assigned to the cellular phone 34 by the router-servers 22 , 30 and 44 in the internetwork, it is no longer necessary to transmit locate-wireless-communication-device messages.
  • the third router-server 36 can locally access the dynamic IP-telephony addresses and transmit call-setup messages which include the appropriate IP-telephony addresses to the router-servers to establish a wireless communication link to the cellular phone 34 .
  • the third router-server 36 transmits a call-setup request including the IP telephony addresses to the home, second and fourth router-servers 22 , 30 and 44 .
  • the router-servers cause their associated wireless base stations to wirelessly transmit a call-setup message in response to the call-setup request.
  • a method for establishing a wireless communication link to the cellular phone 34 from a router-server includes the step 62 of receiving a second incoming call directed to the cellular phone 34 . If the cellular phone is not accessible within the home LAN 10 , the home router-server 22 accesses local memory 20 in step 64 to determine in step 66 whether dynamic IP-telephony addresses assigned to the cellular phone 34 by remote LANs are stored in the memory.
  • the home router-server 22 broadcasts a locate-wireless-communication-device message, receives at least one IP-telephony address from at least one router-server on the internetwork, and transmits a call-setup request to each responding router-server in steps 70 , 72 , and 74 .
  • step 68 if the home router-server 22 has previously locally stored at least one dynamic IP-telephony address assigned to the cellular phone 34 by remote LANs, the home router-server 22 transmits a call-setup request to each router-server for which a dynamic IP-telephony address is known. Each of the call-setup requests includes the relevant dynamic IP-telephony address.
  • step 76 the home router-server determines whether the IP-telephony address stored in the local memory is an “exclusive” address. An exclusive IP-telephony address is stored with data indicating that a particular router-server is the only router-server to which a call-setup request is to be transmitted.
  • the exclusive IP-telephony address can be utilized when a cellular phone user intends to forward calls to a particular network in which the user's cellular phone is known to be located. If the IP-telephony address transmitted by the home router-server 22 in the call-setup request is determined to be an exclusive IP address, no further steps are taken.
  • the home router-server 22 multicasts the locate-wireless-communication-device message to those router-servers in the internetwork which have not previously transmitted a cellular phone dynamic IP-telephony address to the home router-server 22 .
  • the home router-server 22 receives at least one cellular phone IP-telephony address from at least one router-server within the internetwork in step 80 .
  • the home router-server 22 then transmits a second call-setup request to each responding router-server in step 82 .
  • Each call-setup request includes the relevant cellular phone dynamic IP-telephony address.
